OF the Senatorial squAb0le
earlier than next Tuesday
John Young Gooch posed as political
prophet this evening, rema1king that
the fight will remain ia statu
quo u2til next Tuesday at II O'Clock
noon, when, he predicts, compromise on
Governor r Sc, and the election Of that
gentleman at the time i Dictated as
MaXey's successor. Mr. GoOch is evil
IDENTITY afflicted with very poor memory
He should call to mind the laundering
protests that went up all over Texas wnea
Coke was first elected, leaving
the gubernatorial chair in the
midst of his term and securing
a seat in the Senate and what a party is
sue it preCipitated on the Texas Democ-
racy at the time, resulting in the follow
Ing state convention declaring that in the
future shy Democrat elected to the
gGvernorship should serve his term and
not make the office stepping stone to
the Senate until he should retire from the
position OF chief magistrate. This has
been regarded es en- unWrit.en laW since
that time, and it is safe to predict that
Governor Ross is not likely 10 violate it,
The Old AlCalde and Ox-cart John
neither one have dgTe3 to iufract this
tenet.
